[Jae-Ha had started this morning out by heading over to the near shore and doing some shopping. He had to buy more clothes, first of all, for various reasons, and then there was something else he was interested in. So, by the time he comes back, he has a variety of bags slung over his arms.

He waits until most of it is taken care of and put away before moving to find the couch that Hazel's sitting on. His fingers are curled loosely into his palms, but his sleeves are long enough that this probably just seems normal as he moves over.]

Come here. [That's his greeting as he sits down next to him, holding his arms out expectantly for Hazel to sit up a bit more.]

[Be still his heart... He turns his head down just enough to look at Hazel's on his shoulder, his fingers still lightly toying with the ends of his hair. That request stirs such a powerful feeling in his own chest that he's not sure he can put words to it. Still, he tries to make himself clear.]

You're the one I've chosen to stay with of my own accord. So I'll follow you wherever you need me, no matter what.

[He doesn't want to die again or disappear or turn into an ayakashi, so he refuses to. He knows it doesn't work like that, but that's the motivation that will keep him moving forward. He wants to keep Hazel safe...]

I'm yours alone. [Not even this bond that he doesn't understand could tear him away from this. His feelings are too strong. This is what he wants, it's not anywhere near what he's being told or forced to do. So he'll follow it on his own, because he wants to. That's all there is to it.]

[That's... all he needs to hear. This kind of loyalty, all for him and without letting any kinds of supposed obligations get in the way - he's never had that before. He's never felt this way before, period, so while for a split second he wonders if this should have happened so quickly, he reasons that probably doesn't matter. Jae-Ha makes him happy; that's what he's been saying all this time.

And with that loyalty, that choice that's all his own... it's enough.]

Even when I'm keepin' ya from sleepin' off that hangover, you're powerfully sweet. [He's not sending him back to sleep, though, no... pff, no.] Will ya play somethin' for me later? Not when those two're here, just the two of us.

["piano man" echoing in the bg]

[Ugh... His heart is going to explode and he'll die from this before any other illness gets him. How is a man his age supposed to deal with his heart jumping around like this? He's the one who should be controlling the jumping, and yet... even that simple request has him so excited for later. The dinner is only an obstacle, now...]

I'd love to. [The two of them, sharing music... He'll love it so much. Ducking his head just a little bit more, he kisses the side of Hazel's where he's resting against him.] It will be something to look forward to.

[Great... Even if it's that weird, fat violin thing, it will still be nice - Hazel can't help but remember the times they've shared music together, "playing" the piano... It's always something that makes him happy, even if the songs Jae-Ha chooses tend to run melancholy.

So even the fat violin is fine!!] It'll be gettin' me through this meal, that's for certain.

[Sanzos... in his house... who coerced him into agreeing to this.]

It won't be that bad, will it? Sanzang dear is rather sweet, and I'm certain Sanzo will suffer more than you will. I'm here to back you up, in any case.

[He'll kick him in the mouth if anything goes wrong!! That's a fine plan.]

[Uggghhh Sanzos.]

It'll be that bad. She's alright, but he's a right intolerable man when he doesn't want the company. I don't suspect losin' his memories has changed that much.

[It was funny when Hazel wanted something from him, ha ha, but now...] If he's a pain, I'll have him leave. Some people ya just can't be hospitable to.

Simply teleport him away if he gets to be too much.

[He doesn't want this to be a bad time. But at least they have music to look forward to for after. He snuggles a little closer to Hazel, humming.]

That'll upset the missus.

[Ha, see, because.... yeah!! More importantly, cuddling.] What's the menu lookin' like, so far? Thought about it?

A few different things. Stew, rice balls, shishkabobs... I suppose a little of everything might be nice.

It won't be anything close to a feast with my level of cooking, but at least it will be something we can enjoy.

[God....... he'd kill for a burger, but whatever. At least Jae-Ha's wild foreign food is delicious.]

Sounds like a real treat. I'll be around if ya need somethin'— probably shouldn't offer my services as a chef.

Just having you nearby to look at will be nice.

[Eye candy as he cooks the real food. Teach him how to make a burger or something, gosh.]

I'm not tired enough to sleep, but could we lie down here together? [It's comfortable and he's already leaning into Hazel enough, here...]

[Step one: buy it from a store, Hazel can't cook,]

If ya fall asleep on me anyway, I'll have to drag ya downstairs myself and it won't be even a lil bit fun. [But yes, of course, he will gladly wiggle a little to position them better for lying down.]

You have no right to complain about a man who can turn into a necklace at your word. Haven't I carried you everywhere generously?

[His sass is coming back, so he must be getting past things slowly. Hazel's sweet self has helped so much with that, and the coffee and food a little, as well. He lies down, immediately turning to face Hazel more completely in this hold, pulling him closer to his chest. Hello.]

I won't turn a man into a necklace in the middle of bein' hungover. That's cruel.

[What would that even do? Is it safe to be hungover and a necklace at the same time?? Better not find out. Better rearrange his arms around Jae-Ha more comfortably and lean right into his chest instead. Hey.]

[A laugh actually slips out at that.]

You say such gentle things even when I'm giving you a hard time. [His heart can't take it... Why is he touched by not being turned into a necklace for ease?? Who knows, he can't remember, but he is.] I won't fall asleep on you.

[He really would drag Jae-Ha bodily down the stairs before turning him into a necklace... or teleporting. These newfangled god powers, who needs them.]

Better not. [so there!! Perfect argument. He settles in more here, considering... this is so nice, ugh.] Maybe tonight ya can stay in here with me.

[And cuddle. The goal is cuddling, but, them.]

Could I?

[Ah... He smiles warmly, one of his hands slipping into Hazel's hair tenderly.] The nights have been a little colder.

[Or, yes, he's very into this idea thanks. They can plan on purity and see where they really go.]

[Colder nights... he's so shoujo. Hazel hums, like he has to think about it one more time.]

I want ya to. [a beat-] Well, maybe your bed. This one smells suspiciously like liquor.

[The Gang Does Laundry]

That is something we can fix, you know.

[He's SORRY gosh!! But ah, his bed... He wants Hazel in his bed, that also works.] Either way is fine.

[He can't deny that it makes his heart skip a beat to think of just resting beside him. See, right now, his thoughts are innocent. Later, in his slutty night robe, he might be different.]

[That slutty night robe is a gift and a curse, goddamn. Hazel has considered that in detail, don't worry. Maybe they should sleep in Jae-Ha's bed for the variety, hmm.

blah blah laundry whatever!!]

I'll flip a coin come bedtime. The beds're the stakes, this time.

Hmm, what an exciting bet that will be. A win-win.

[He laughs, lightly again, and brushes his fingers through Hazel's hair a little more.] We have our full day planned out, it seems. But I still want to take up as much of it as I can just relaxing like this. We have some time.

Some time is plenty. [Hmm, keep touching his hair like that, that's nice...] Make sure ya get up when your head's feelin' better.

[Or, literally whenever. As long as the food can still get made and Hazel can still stand around looking pretty on time.]
